Edited to add.....publication time appears to be at or after the commencement time ( it definitely wasn't on the NATS website at 04:55hrs when I first checked )

Need some quick advice! Only ever been to Fairford for RIAT, but fancy a drive up to see some of today's movements. Where's the best place to view and park etc without breaking any laws but get best views?3.5 hour round trip, so would really appreciate some sound advice please

Adie, I asked the same question on FC and got some useful advice. If you park at the Marston Meysey end there are public footpaths which take you to the fence. However the advice was to stick to the paths and park carefully because the locals do have a lot to put up with.

Thanks very much. I'm a little ignorant about these USAF exercise days, about to head up shortly but worried I'll sit in a field for 4/5 hours and see nothing lol. Long way to come if unlikely to see much that's all...

That was my thinking.I was at work when I posted it, so didn't have access to my charts to see where 'Bravo' & 'Delta' are, then when I did check this afternoon the UKAR site was dead ( or was it just me ) so I couldn't update it.
